Quality of life after rectal surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies how patients’ day-to-day quality of life changes after a specific type of rectal/low anterior resection during treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. It may help the medical team understand what symptoms and recovery needs to expect after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have newly diagnosed ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer
- You are planning cytoreductive surgery and a second surgery after chemotherapy
- Your scans suggest cancer involving the rectum/sigmoid area that needs removal (or similar involvement) and your cancer stage is IIIB or higher
- You are age 18 or older and can care for yourself at a moderate level (ECOG 0–2)
- You have not had this low anterior rectal surgery before and you do not have a colostomy

This observational study follows people with rectal cancer who get radiation (with or without chemotherapy) before surgery. It aims to understand how these treatments affect quality of life after surgery.
This study looks at how rectal cancer surgery and its treatments affect your quality of life. If you are having surgery (not the type that removes the anus) or getting radiation plus chemotherapy without surgery, researchers will ask you about your well-being by phone over time.
This trial checks whether having surgery to remove as much tumor as possible, followed by ongoing targeted treatment, helps people with advanced ovarian (and related) cancers live longer and/or control cancer better. It specifically uses tumor-testing results to match patients and then continues treatment after surgery.
This trial studies how surgical treatment for rectal cancer affects patients’ quality of life and other day-to-day impacts. It may help doctors understand what to expect after surgery and how to better support patients.
This study looks at how people feel and their quality of life after surgery for lower rectal cancer. The goal is to understand what life is like years after the operation, which can help future patients know what to expect.
This study looks at patient-reported outcomes—how you feel and function—after surgery for rectal cancer. It may help doctors better understand recovery and well-being after different surgical approaches and treatments.
